Best thing I've watched in the genre in a very very long time. Unfortunately I am seeing some strange comments online that are racially discriminatory and childish to say the least. Explains the rating, because it sure is not about the quality of this series.
A few things here to mention:
1. Aidan Turner is impeccable and is putting a hell of a performance. Strangely enough, people seem to be more preoccupied by his beard. The whole thing works thanks to him.
2. Supporting cast is phenomenal, particularly Shaun Parkes and Bobby Schofield.
3. This series is smart and sly. Uses stereotypical aspects of a crime drama and turns them on their head. If it's insane in plot, then it's exactly what it's supposed to be.
